Advanced Features

JMESPath Queries

# Get instance IDs only

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].InstanceId' --output text

# Filter running instances

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[?State.Name==`running`]'

# Get specific fields

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --query 'Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId,InstanceType,State.Name]'

Pagination & Filtering

# Limit results

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --max-items 10

# Use pagination token

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --starting-token eyJ... --max-items 10

# Filter by tags

                        aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=tag:Environment,Values=production"

Best Practices

Security

# Use IAM roles instead of access keys

                        # Use --profile for different accounts

                        # Enable MFA for CLI access

                        # Use temporary credentials

Performance

# Use --query to filter output

                        # Use --output text for scripts

                        # Use pagination for large datasets

                        # Use --no-cli-pager for automation

Error Handling

# Check exit codes in scripts

                        # Use --cli-read-timeout for slow operations

                        # Use --cli-connect-timeout for network issues

                        # Handle rate limiting with exponential backoff
